View allI've been dealing with piles for a while now and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about it - is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I could try first
For advanced cases (Grade III and IV) or when non-surgical methods fail, surgical intervention may be the best option. Common surgical procedures include: Hemorrhoidectomy: This involves the complete removal of hemorrhoids and is highly effective for severe cases.

I've been dealing with really bad piles and heard thuthi leaf might help but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old is it safe to take? I don't want surgery, what else can I try for relief?
Thuthi leaf lacks safety data in breastfeeding. Try stool softeners, high-fiber diet, and topical creams. Sitz baths can provide good relief without surgery.

I'm dealing with a small pimple or boil right at the opening of my anus, and it's making it hard to pass motion, especially when I'm constipated. I also notice that eating spicy food sometimes causes pain during bowel movements. Can you advise me on which type of doctor I should see about this?
You may be experiencing a condition known as an anal abscess or a hemorrhoid. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter stool softeners like Colace (docusate sodium) to ease bowel movements. You can also apply over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream like Preparation H to the affected area to reduce inflammation. However, it is important to consult a surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
